International Wax Exhibit Celebrates Black History Month with Jamie Foxx Tribute

In the spirit of Black History Month, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas has chosen to honor Oscar-winning actor and performer, Jamie Foxx, with an official unveiling of his life-like wax statue.

The unveiling kicks off Madame Tussauds Black History month-long celebration exhibit where the new Foxx replica will join other notable African-American figures including Muhammad Ali, Louis Armstrong, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Oprah Winfrey. Each famous wax figure featured in the attraction will be accompanied by a biography highlighting each of the figures’ contributions to American history.

Jamie Foxx is the first African-American in history to receive two Oscar nominations in the same year for two of his films, Collateral and Ray.

Foxx took part in a two-hour private sitting enabling Tussauds Studio artists to create the highly-detailed $300,000 wax reproduction.
